BSF at Bangladesh-India border



Brahmanbaria, Apr 25 – A Bangladeshi youth sustained injuries after being shot by India’s Border Security Force (BSF) along the Akhaura border in Brahmanbaria on Friday.

The injured, Asadul Islam, 28, is a resident of Itna village in Moniyand union and son of Ferdous Mia. 

He was admitted to Brahmanbaria General Hospital for treatment.

Quoting locals, Akhaura Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) GM Rashedul Islam said Asadul crossed the border into India, prompting BSF personnel patrolling the area to open fire with pellet guns, injuring him.

Lt Col Ziaur Rahman, commanding officer of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Battalion-60, said it is not yet clear why the youth crossed the border. 

“We are trying to gather details by speaking to him. Communication is also underway with BSF regarding the incident,” he added. - UNB
